Kudos to J.P. Neufeld, a 21-year old student at Montreal's Concordia University for alerting authorities about a post on the newgrounds forum left by a student that claimed he would burn down his school.

"I saw this thread started by this guy. It didn't seem serious at first. It said that today at 11:30 a.m. GMT I will commit violence and other forms of arson against my school [in Norfolk]. He had posted a picture of a gas can," Neufeld told CBC News.

Police were able to track down information about the suspect and school—leading them to an arrest. A 16-year-old male in possession of a knife, matches and canister of flammable liquid was taken into custody outside the school.

"You don't make threats like that idly. Either it was a hoax or something he was going to go through with"
